00:00Let's get to Houston. The Rockets first game since the All-Star break. Same for the Timberwolves.

00:05Neither team in action last night. Houston, three and a half point home. Favorite against the

00:09T-Wolves, 2-17 and a hook is that total. Houston, the four seed currently in the Western Conference.

00:17Did not play its greatest basketball entering the All-Star break, dropping seven of its last ten.

00:22The T-Wolves right now, DRS, would be the top team in the play-in tournament, but only a half

00:27game behind the Clippers for what would be the sixth seed in the Western Conference. So critical

00:32game for both that we anticipate factoring into that playoff race around the NBA.

00:39Yeah, and also, as I just told you, buying into the line movement here with the Cleveland

00:42Cavaliers going up against the Knicks, let's just say seven and a half up to eight and a little bit

00:46higher at other spots. Almost the opposite here as we're taking a look between the Rockets and

00:50the Timberwolves. Vanduul, New Jersey opened up this line at minus five, and now the current

00:54number, you see that graphic up there, minus four, it's actually three and a half. So I'm

00:58going to buy the lowest spot we've seen it today and take the Houston Rockets at home.

01:01And we just talked about a basketball game at 241, 242 as a total. How about this throwback?
